FFC/FPC (flat flexible) connectors are an increasingly popular form of electrical connection in a range of applications. They feature a flat ribbon cable with exposed contacts that are used to connect two electronic devices or components. The connectors can be used in a variety of sectors, including automotive, aerospace, computer, instrumentation and consumer electronics.

FFC/FPC connectors are cost-effective and reliable, making them ideal for low- to mid-range applications. In addition, the thin and lightweight characteristics of the cables means that they can be easily routed in limited spaces. As well as this, the connectors possess low insertion and withdrawal forces, meaning their cables can be regularly removed and reconnected without risking any damage.

There are two main types of FFC/FPC connectors, namely zero insertion force (ZIF) and non-ZIF connectors. The former feature a lever situated at the rear of the connector, which is used to both insert and remove the cable. Meanwhile, non-ZIF connectors require a small tool to be used in order to attach and release the ribbon cable components. In addition, FFC/FPC connectors come in various sizes and in both straight and right-angle options.

The essential working principle behind FFC/FPC connectors is simple. The exposed contacts of the ribbon cable are pressed against their corresponding counter-connects on the other electronic device or component. The components are plastic-molded with an embossing process so that the pins are fixed. When a plug is pushed in, the pins are deformed due to the pressure, creating an electrical connection. The connectors typically feature two release levers (one near each end), which when pushed in, separate the two pieces of the plug.

FFC/FPC connectors have numerous benefits, and are the preferred choice in many applications. With their low costs, easy installability and space-saving design, the connectors are increasingly popular for use in a range of sectors. They are a secure and reliable form of electrical connection, and offer an optimal solution for low- to mid-range applications.
